The samples presented by 67 pedigrees ascertained from the Kirghiz population via proband having an early myocardial infarction were analysed for ischemic heart disease. It is shown that these pathologies are not accompanied by high increase in the cholesterol level, as is usual for the European populations. Segregation analysis of the cholesterol level was performed and a possibility of monogenic control of this trait was demonstrated.
